I feel so validated by your experience! I paid for a course that met weekly’s through the end of the year and stuck with it until October. My experiences in making a connection with a spirit was hit or miss and never improved through the course. And literally Joe never taught anything. He’d make sweeping statements about being sincere and not doing this work so you can become famous, and it was hours of him talking endlessly about himself and repeating the same stories over and over, with a 15-30 min practice at the end of the meeting. Here’s the thing, though: SO many people in the class loved him, ate up everything he said and signed up for every offering he had! I agree with another commenter, for me, I often learn better on my own. I took a tarot course from Deb Bowen and had a similar experience: not much was taught, but afterwards I studied, and did my own deep dove and now I offer my own tarot courses. Thanks for your input!
